The Problem of Unwanted Calls in the Mobile Era Gets an Answer from Telecom Industry Leader in Video

Bridgewater, N.J. – October 18, 2017 – The issue of unwanted phone calls is the No. 1 complaint registered with the FCC and FTC as consumers continue to have their lives disrupted day and night by calls from disreputable businesses.

A previous generation often looked forward to a phone call because invariably it was from a person they knew.  In today’s world, however, mobile phone users often dread answering their phones because it’s often an unsolicited call from an unknown business and they can’t determine who is calling before they answer.

Using the latest technologies, these businesses can call you from anywhere in the world while making it appear the call is originating from a local number on your smartphone screen to trick you to answer.  This technique has emboldened these businesses to target consumers on a device they have with them 24x7.

Can this practice be stopped and the constant annoyance alleviated?  Wouldn’t it be nice if consumers could simply verify who is calling them before choosing to answer a call?
